We Need Your HelpOur vision
for setting up the Psi Chi LinkedIn group is to connect alumni and
undergraduates to discuss items related to careers and the field of psychology.
This is a great place to maintain professional ties and give back to other Psi
Chi members looking for advice.

Help us get
to 5,000 LinkedIn members over the holiday break! Please goHEREand send a request to join our closed
group. If you’re already a part of the group, then please invite at least one Psi
Chi alumnus to join us. Thanks for helping us grow our community!

Don’t have a
LinkedIn profile, and wonder why you need one? A professional online profile is
the future of networking and job advancement. Even if you are not directly
contacted on LinkedIn, employers will review your credentials online. Don’t
miss out on connecting with Psi Chi members and future job opportunities.
